If well laid. stone drain should
last as long as one Of tile. If con-
siderable amount of stone is used and
there is good outlet stone drain win
never fill up so that some water will
not pass through it. Too great . fall
or too large an amount of water is apt
to displace stones. Hence attempts to
make the stone in the form of an arch
often fail. One side or the other d
liable to be displaced. and presently a
stone is pushed into the channel. Earth
accumulates around this and the eff
cheney of the drain Is impaired. Tile
set in ditch just wide enough TO- re.
ceive it can not easily be displaced
